This SnTT post is the result of a conversation I had with Lotus Tech Support. When sitting at the Domino Server (Windows) working on an issue, the Tech asked how I was accessing a database. I told him that I launched nlnotes.exe. Shortly after mentioning this, he sent me this TechNote:

Running the nlnotes.exe is not supported. If you need to access databases locally at the physical server, it is recommended to install the Notes Client or Administrative Client in a separate directory from the Domino server.

Notes:

• If the Domino server is enabled with transaction logging, using nlnotes.exe on a database that is transactionally logged will change the DBIID.
• If running a Notes 8 client, running nlnotes.exe is no longer possible. Running notes.exe is necessary to load the Eclipse framework.

I hesitate to recommend the installation of a Notes client on the server, but if you are running Transactional Logging, it's good to know the ramifications of using nlnotes.exe on the server.

Think we have covered this before you and I, but running NLNOTES is problematic on many levels and doesn't run various agents among other maladies.
Installing a client on the system will not be a problem, provided the ID on the system has a password .
